    The betting line, BUF@MIA

    I'm seeing MIA -7, and MIA -8 in Jolly Old England. AFAIK, BUF has covered at home but not on the road.

    I got in at +9 Buffalo online today. I usually never bet on Bills games, but I couldn't pass this up. I also bet on them at +280 to win out right. Odds that are hard to pass up.

        Last week's line was the easiest money of the year, even though there was a sweating time.

          Bad news for Bills fans...

          405 BUFFALO BILLS 41 43.5 43 42.5 42.5 42.5 43o08 43.5 43.5
          406 MIAMI DOLPHINS -11.5 -7.5 -7 -7 -7.5 EVEN -7 -9.5 +26 -9 +15 -7
          2/3rds of the bets are on Buffalo to cover the spread. Almost 90% of the bets think Buffalo will straight up win. Vegas can't win if Buffalo wins or makes it a close game.

          We all know how Vegas works. They usually win about 75% of all bets, so this one doesn't look good for the Bills.

          I would not be surprised if New England loses too. If they win, it will be by a field goal or less.

          397 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS -6 -4 -3.5 -3.5 -3.5 -4 -3.5 +03 -3.5 -3 -25
          398 NEW YORK JETS 44 44 43.5 43.5 43.5 43.5 43.5o06 44 43.5
          Only way Vegas makes money on this game is if the Jets win, or Brady pulls another rabbit out of his magic helmet.

            Backup QB and all, wouldn't be surprised to see the Texans win this one.

                  Point spreads (the "Side") entice people to gamble on the underdog. If people could only gamble straight up win/loss on the money, Vegas wouldn't be in business.

                  I would assume that most people gamble on the spread (Side), which is why it's listed first on all the sportsbooks.

                  Vegas makes their money by luring people in to betting the side by giving them points.

                  What matters most is the point spread, because that is where Vegas makes their money. There would be no money to be made without the Side, which is why I would always bet against it.

                  OK...

                  So the Bills lose, Patriots lose, Chiefs lose, and Cowboys lose.

                  Vegas is usually right 3 out of 4 times.

                      Vegas makes their money on the vig. They adjust the spread to even money up so they make a guaranteed 10% return. They don't try to figure out who is going to win the game, and they could care less which side wins.

                      The initial odds are set by odds-makers in the same manner that insurance companies set rates. They look at historical trends and set the initial spread, then adjust the spread if too much money goes in one direction.

                      If you look at the Bills recent history at Miami, they are 1 - 4 with the losses being by 14, 27, 28 & 9 points. They one game they won was a 3 point win. That is why the line was set high, because the Bills generally haven't performed well there lately.

                        Welcome to our first blowout loss. This line does not bode well for the Bills, and we're due to let our true colors show on the road.

                          And we all know NE will win, because even Vegas won't **** with the 3 B's...Brady, Belicheck and Beelzebub.

                              Vegas is cleaning up on pro football, according to someone I know who works in the industry. I view it as a sucker bet and only play football cards for a couple bucks. Most people chase last weeks winners and lose.
